The Golden Hawks team average per nine holes stands at 214 on the year with Gabi Robertson as the individual leader at a 54 average per nine holes. This week, Mid-Prairie’s lone senior Madelyn Bender talked about how the team has been playing to this point in the year. “It’s always fun seeing the younger players grow so much, and how good we are compared to this time last year. It’s really exciting. Not having my sophomore season, I’m really wishing I could have another year with these girls but we have together and we’re doing good so, I’m proud of our team.”
